LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Derrick Locke ran for two touchdowns and
Kentucky held off rival Louisville 23-16 Saturday, keeping the
Governor's Cup for the fourth straight season and making Joker
Phillips victorious in a matchup of longtime friends debuting as
head coaches.

Phillips, who gained prominence as a coordinator of a
record-breaking offense at his alma mater, has hinted this 2010
version could be as good as the Andre Woodson-led unit of three and
four years ago. The Wildcats didn't disappoint in the opener,
gobbling up yardage in bulk - particularly on the ground from
Locke, who had 104 yards on 23 carries.

For Charlie Strong, who guided Florida's dominating defense to
two national titles in seven years, the rebuilding project has
begun at Louisville.

Kentucky scored all but three of its points in the first half.
Randall Cobb followed Locke's touchdown runs with a 51-yarder.
